blackFLAG FTS - SwingArm Trend Indicator using ATRTrailing Stop and Fibonacci Retracements

[luiscervantes30]

I was able to do the 1min,5min,15min,30min,1hr,4hr,and daily. Would it be a good idea to put in the weekly and monthly? I just copy and paste the same on while changing the options to 1min,5min ext...

Thanks

@luiscervantes30 Are you referring to swingarm watchlist columns?

 

[GreenCape]

The alerts will not open in thinkorswim and display an error stating to contact tech support.

Sagar and I are having the same issues.

Could Jose share new alert links that work? It would greatly help.

@luiscervantes30 Are you referring to swingarm watchlist columns?

Yes I just want to learn in detail how to use it or how it's supposed to be used. I do see buy zone on a minute frame green box but then green on the larger time frames and some red. And see some sell zone red box and the other zones being green.

 

[luiscervantes30]

Ok so at this Moment SPY is on the daily support, and right on the weekly support as well. I have the two of them charted out. I'm being patient and waiting for it to break above the w of them. But in all zones it just has green. Which makes me want to buy but I'm thinking it reverses here. Any thoughts....

@luiscervantes30 In your watchlist column, make sure you either enable or disable extended hours option, whichever option you're using on your chart.

@BenTen It's generic error when you try to import the below TOS shared links.. "An error occurred while importing shared item. Please consult with tech support"

Only below links not all...
Can ypu import it without any issue then not sure i see few people complaining about this.. something is missing.

@Sagar Got it, I see the error now. We're working on it.

Firefox won't work. Use MS Edge.

@greygoose Can you please Publish the raw scan code for the bullish and bearish BlackFLAG scanners? The one listed here erupts an error when you preview and try to load it.

Ben said he is working on it.

 

[technicallydreaming]

Is it possible change the timeframe of the Alerts to 20min?

 

[GreenCape]

Is it possible change the timeframe of the Alerts to 20min?

there should be a video explaining creating WL and scan and after TF that you scan you can create the alerts. Check it out! i hope im not wrong lol

@greygoose Can you please Publish the raw scan code for the bullish and bearish BlackFLAG scanners? The one listed here erupts an error when you preview and try to load it.

Here is a Link for SwingArm Bullish 1 Minute. Instead of pasting the code, just use the link and it throws it onto thinkorswim for you. just rename it when you save it:
https://tos.mx/wBQ1VmE
You could then change the time period (you don't have to copy/paste the code) and then rename it and save it for, say 5 minutes. Then 10 Minutes or whatever time period you wish and as many time periods as you desire.

If you want the just the code, I am pasting it below.

I hope this is what you're looking for

Oh totally forgot about doing that. Can you give a quick rundown on how it's supposed to be used. Sorry I bug so much. For instance today I did a Tesla put exp this Friday. In the 15 min zone it said sell zone. Thanks again.

[Happymono]

Odd request i tend to have issues in tos even through the fixes mentioned by others and am requesting if it were possible to translate the thinkscript code of jose's swing arms into pinescript?

 

[mcdon030]
